The aim of our study was to evaluate the effect of the use of a electric ride-on car during transport to the operating theatre on preoperative anxiety in children undergoing elective ambulatory surgery. As a distraction method, children in the experimental group will be introduced to the operating theatre with a electric ride-on car. Yale Modified Preoperative Anxiety Scale Child Form will be used to evaluate anxiety. The sample size was determined as 118 as a result of power analysis. 59 children will be included in the experimental group and 59 children in the control group.
